Thanks for sharing..... New to 4x4 myself and would never of known to put it in 2nd gear in low range for something like that so you've helped a 3rd person out now with some new information...... Cheers no doubt you will be patrolling that part of the beach for more stranded people :woohoo:

It is worth remembering that higher gearing can be better on sand. Going to 1st gear low ratio can just dig your own car in, I see you selected 2nd gear the second time which is often better.


Cheers :) well that was my thought precisely. So my initial decision on tow.number two was to go slowly in low first to see how the tyres reacted :) hence the reason I reversed and then picked low second :)

The Jimny goes well a lot of places on standard tyres but put some ATs/MTs on and they're unstoppable.

I was thinking you may have had some wider one.

It could turn from a few good deeds to a lucrative business ;)
